Wrist circles

A quick warm-up that rolls your wrists through their full range before planks, push-ups or desk work.

BeginnerNo equipmentLow impactSuggested: 20 sec

How to do it

  1. Stand tall and bend your elbows to bring your hands in front of you.
  2. Make loose fists or relax your fingers.
  3. Slowly circle your wrists in one direction, moving through the biggest range you can.
  4. Halfway through, reverse the direction of the circles.

Form tips

  • Keep your forearms still so the movement comes from your wrists.
  • Move smoothly rather than quickly.
